Windows 11, the latest OS released by Microsoft, offers free upgrades for eligible devices. If your computer runs on this operating system, here are settings to enhance your efficiency, boost productivity, and improve learning.
1. Customize Start Menu Display
The new Start Menu in Windows 11, reminiscent of Windows 7, organizes everything more neatly. However, it introduces new elements like suggested apps or files that might be bothersome. Choose the content to display on the Start Menu by navigating to Setting -> Personalization -> Start, and toggle items based on your usage needs.
2. Personalize Your Device Setup
You can personalize your laptop or desktop for convenience. Access Settings, choose Personalization, then Device Usage. Define the purpose of your device and explore settings and suggestions from Microsoft that suit your usage needs.
3. Explore Display Modes in Windows Explorer
In Windows 11, the spacing between items is wider than in the previous version. If you appreciate the Windows 11 display, go to View and select Compact View to reduce the spacing between items.
4. Disable Data Collection and Ad Suggestions
This feature is pre-set in the operating system. However, if you find it bothersome, you can easily disable it by navigating to Settings -> Privacy & Security -> General and unchecking the 'Let apps show me… advertising ID' feature.
5. Adjust Start Menu Alignment Like Windows 10
The Start Menu in Windows 11 is, by default, centered with app icons on the taskbar. If you're not accustomed to this new interface and want to adjust it to resemble Windows 10, simply find and select Settings -> Personalization -> Taskbar. Under Taskbar alignment, choose Left. You can also customize app display when using multiple displays by checking 'When using multiple displays, show my taskbar apps on.'
